Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate CAS 1820613-75-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Methyl 3-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (CAS 1820613-75-9), molecular formula C15H11F3O3 and molecular weight 296.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate (C15H11F3O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 3-[2-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]benzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
